Bite from a squirrel with hind legs paralized?

I'm just curious as to what I should be worried about. Could the squirrel have rabies or something serious like that? What would be the immediate symptoms?Bite from a squirrel with hind legs paralized?
the odds of a squirrel having rabies is about 1 in 10,000,000


the reason being small animals like rodents do not survive bites by infected animals





if it's back end is paralyzed, he's probably in alot of pain, and that's why he bit you





since he is a wild animal though, i would go through with what someone mentioned, try to capture the animal and take it to a vet or someplace that can test it to see if it has any kind of diseases or something like that, just to be sure it doesnt transmit anything to youBite from a squirrel with hind legs paralized?
Absolutely. Squirrels are non-aggressive animals to begin with so a bite is an indicator of something wrong; but an animal that is both aggressive and dragging hind quarters is showing signs of end-stage rabies. If you're able to capture the squirrel in a have-a-heart trap (peanut butter should do the trick) and carefully take him in to be tested to determine its condition, do so immediately. If not, assume the worst and get the shots...it's not something to play around with.
it would probally be better to be safe than sorry. I would catch the squirrel and then go from there just to be safe.
Rabies symptoms don't show up for quite a while after being bitten and infected.


Go to your doctor tomorrow, and get tested. It's better to catch it now before it's too late!
